Looking for some more keto buddies

Hello all. I've been active on MFP now for about 3 weeks following a roll-your-own ketogenic diet. So far with some pretty good success. In the beginning I wasn't all that worried about the pure nutrient mix of it; just tried to hit my carb goal, get into ketosis and stay there. So far so good. 3 weeks, and 23 pounds gone. Just another 150ish to go.
My current mix of MFP friends is mostly low-fat / low-calorie folks; which is fine - I'm not a keto nazi. My biggest problem isn't sticking to the keto diet; it's sticking to ANY diet. And that I share with anyone trying to lose weight, however they're doing it. But I could use folks who understand the keto way. To share experiences, and who understand what kind of foods work on this kind of diet.
I'm not going to be super religious about the diet. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to try to follow the general guidelines of a good keto plan. But my failures in the past have come from trying to be perfect in the diet. But I'm never perfect at anything. So when I fail, I become embarrassed and quit. To fix that, it means not getting all stressed about the day to day performance. So long as I stay honest and the trends are good - then I'm fine with how I'm doing.
Please add me if you'd like. I log every day and try to encourage all my MFP friends. I'm not an expert nor am I perfect; just another person trying my best to lose alot of weight just like most everyone else on MFP. I'll be honest and encouraging to you; and together we can all do this.
